Qi Yuning said, "Isn't that what you said, Prince? Marriage is about mutual affection, not about Lingling's father marrying her because of her status. So he doesn't need to worry about Lingling."

Lu Ze: “…”

Lingling played with Huarong Dao for a while, but just couldn't get it right. Dejected, she walked up to Lu Ze and said, "Daddy, teach me how to play, but I just can't get it right. Is it because I'm too stupid?"

Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head and said, "Lingling is not stupid. Lingling is very smart. It's your father who is stupid!"

Lingling said: "But Daddy knows how to play Huarong Dao!"

"He's just stupid. Mommy, please teach you how to play."

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and Lingling. Seeing the Buddhist beads in Qi Yuning's hand, he felt it was extremely dazzling. He stepped forward and took the Buddhist beads from Qi Yuning's hand.

"This string of Buddhist beads is of very poor quality. If the princess wants better ones, I'll take her out for a walk in the street in a couple of days when I'm off. I'll see if there are any agarwood beads. Doesn't Lingling want some too?"

Qi Yuning said: "Okay."

Lu Ze pulled Qi Yuning aside and whispered to her, "Princess, Lingling's presence here means she will definitely be born. You can't agree to marry Yun'er, who has returned to secular life. I don't want to give birth to Lingling with my own siblings."

Qi Yuning listened to Lu Ze's words, looked down at Lu Ze holding her wrist, and smiled, "So, the prince said he didn't want the father to be honored by the daughter, but it turns out he was just sure that the father would be honored by the daughter in the end."

"No, I don't want my daughter to be my father's daughter, but I want the princess to marry me willingly!"
